Re: Jarmusch's b-day being in Jan

To me it is somewhat very appropriate that Jim Jarmusch's birthday falls in late, well, the start of the late period, early 20's (1/22), January. 'cause over here in DC area January is cold winter (usually), not much is happening, streets are usually emptier than in other parts of the year (just as in movies by you know who). But January is a very important month, the first month of the year, a month that is both the definite end of the previous year and the definite beginning of the new year. This, to me, feels like a good month for Jarmusch's birthday, since January has some qualities that Jarmusch movies have. Just a fleeting thought.
